Aug 6, 2018

OnSong continues to bring you the features you've asked for. We plan to do this over time to allow you time to adapt interface changes. Too much change all at once can be a bad thing. Here are some of things we've improved in the latest version:

• Vertical Menu Mode gives you a split screen to view songs and settings while performing.• The new songs menu and viewer work together to let you flip through any collection of songs like books, topics, search results, or set.• The redesigned style preferences menu makes room for future formatting options and gives you more control over your chords.• Lyrics projection gets some new bells and whistles by letting you set the color of text, stroke, and shadow.• Lots more improvements and fixes too!

Just Wow!!!

UPDATE: I am still completely amazed at how OnSong has improved my entire performance. I do not go on stage without it! The best part is I have is set up on an external monitor hidden in a case that looks like an instrument monitor. Nobody knows it is even there which makes me look good :D

I bought this so that I could consolidate my chord charts (digital and otherwise). It is just blowing my mind. It can control my lighting for me without even having to touch the screen (I use foot pedals to navigate through my sets). I no longer have to rely on my friend who may have had enjoyed himself a bit more then he should have prior to the performance. I can send charts to those who may be joining me on the stage during the week so that we are all on the same page before we get to the performance. I am ready to start using the Connect feature so that I can have an extra device with me and whoever ends up with me will see everything I am and I can keep my eyes on the crowd and not sending cues to whoever.

The best part of this is when I had questions, the OnSong crew actually provided answers and helpful hints that blew me away even more. They provided clear consise answers and links to all their video tutorials. The app is better then any software/app that I have paid hundreds of dollars for in the past.

Must have app for Musicians!

I use the app in church while playing on our praise and worship team. I digitized our church's entire library of chord charts which consisted of two 3" large ring binders. A lot of work upfront but now everything is on my iPad 4. You can transpose your chord charts on the fly, make up set list,etc. I use the Airturn brand wireless 4 pedal system to hands free scroll up and down the charts, turn pages, move to the next song without missing a beat while playing guitar. I've also used it to project the lyrics onto the screen for the congregation to follow along with the song. I've even taken my iPad and the OnSong app to Guatemala on our annual mission trips. It's so convenient to have literally 1000+ song chord sheet contained on my iPad. It seems I'm adding to my OnSong library constantly. There are many more features included that I don't even use yet. Of all the apps I've ever purchased this was the best $20 I've ever spent. The folks at OnSong are constantly updating this app and their online presence and customer support are the real deal. If you don't already own this type of software or have tried out other companies versions but we're left wanting more now is the time to get the OnSong app ( I am in no way affiliated with this company- I just love this app!)

Must have for worship teams

Onsong is by far the best app for musicians who use chord charts, beginner to pro level. We started using it since October 2012, and now it has become a must for all singers and musicians in our worship ministry. We have turned people to Onsong from countries in Europe, Central America, South America and the Caribbean. When we started, we were just looking for a way to get rid of a music stand with multiple music sheets. Our repertoire of songs are sung in different keys for worship leaders with different ranges. The task of keeping chord charts at hand as we are led to sing songs sometimes that are not part of the original set became very tough. Onsong allows us to carry the library of chord charts we've created over the years (over 700 of them) and have the ability to quickly find songs and change key in seconds!The app has multiple add-ons that will help even singers practice their parts without using any other app, like the built in acoustic guitar or piano soundbank add on. It will play the chords in a chord chart so you can practice in the appropriate key...There is so much this app offers, it really is a must have! It is worth the price. Thank you Onsong!
